O God, we with our ears have heard

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, we with our ears have heard, our fathers have us told, the work that in their days thou didst even in the days of old. 2 Thy hand did drive the heathen out, and plant them in their place; the nations all thou didst afflict, but them thou didst increase. 3 For neither got their sword the land, nor did their arm them save; but thy right hand, arm, countenance; for God them favour gave. 4 Thou art my King: for Jacob, Lord, deliverances command. 5 Through thee we shall push down our foes, that do against us stand: We, through thy name, shall tread down those that risen against us have. 6 For in my bow I shall not trust, nor shall my sword me save. 7 But from our foes thou hast us saved, our haters put to shame. 8 In God we all the day do boast, and ever praise thy name. 9 But now we are cast off by thee, thou puttest us to shame; and when our armies forth do go, thou goest not with them. 10 Thou mak’st us from the enemy to turn back in dismay; and they, who hate us, for themselves our spoils do take away. 11 Like sheep for meat thou gavest us, ’mong heathen cast we be. 12 Thou didst for nought thy people sell; their price enriched not thee. 13 Unto our neighbours a reproach we have been made be thee; derision and a scorn to those that round about us be. 14 A by-word also thou dost us among the heathen make; the people, in contempt and spite, at us their heads do shake. 15 Before me my confusion doth abide continually, and of my countenance the shame doth wholly cover me. 16 For voice of him that doth reproach, and speaketh blasphemy; because of the avenging foe, and cruel enemy. 17 All this is come on us, yet we have not forgotten thee; nor falsely in thy covenant behaved ourselves have we. 18 Back from thy way turned not our hearts, from thee we have not strayed; 19 though crushed by thee in dragons’ haunts, and covered with death’s shade. 20 If we God’s name forgot, or stretched to a strange god our hands, 21 shall not God search this out? for he heart's secrets understands. 22 Yea, for thy sake we’re killed all day, counted as slaughter-sheep. 23 Rise, Lord, cast us not ever off, awake, why dost thou sleep? 24 O wherefore hidest thou thy face? forgett’st our cause distressed, 25 and our oppression? For our soul down to the dust is pressed. Our body also on the earth fast cleaving hold doth take. 26 Rise for our help, and us redeem, even for thy mercies’ sake.

What Time the Evening Shadows Fall

Author: John W. Hewett Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. What time the evening shadows fall Around the Church on earth, When darker forms of doubt appall, And new false lights have birth; Then closer should her faithful band For truth together hold, Hell’s last devices to withstand, And safely guard her fold. 2. O Father, in that hour of fear, Thy Church on earth do keep, Thine altar to the last to rear, And feed Thy fainting sheep; May she the holy truths attest Apostles taught of yore, Nor quit the faith by saints confessed, Though tempted ne’er so sore. 3. O Christ, who for Thy flock didst pray That all might be as one, Unite us all ere fades the day, Thou sole begotten Son; The East, the West, together bind In love’s unbroken chain; Give each one hope, one heart, one mind, One glory, and one gain. 4. O Spirit, Lord of light and life, The Church with strength renew, Compose the angry voice of strife, All jealousies subdue; Do Thou in ever quickening streams Upon Thy saints descend, And warm them with reviving beams, And guide them to the end. 5. Great Three in One, great One in Three, Our hymns of prayer receive, And teach us all from sin to flee, And live as we believe; So, pure in faith, our thoughts and speech, And acts that faith shall own; So shall we to Thy presence reach, And know as we are known.
